Have you ever tried?

“You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

To be perfectly honest, I know at this point in my life I cannot, nor do I want to, be a brain surgeon. However, when I was much younger, I never even gave it a thought. Could I have been? I don’t know because I never tried. I wonder what would have happened if I tried.

I didn’t know if I could be a solopreneur until I tried. It was not easy, but the challenge and the will to succeed were there. I did have help along the way, but the fact that I tried and made it work has given me a sense of accomplishment. I never would have known unless I tried.

During Columbus Day weekend, I visited the Hudson Valley in New York with several friends. Besides the weather being beautiful and the leaves turning colors, we experienced a ton of history. Among the sites we saw were FDR’s house and Eleanor Roosevelt’s house. They were 2 of the most extraordinary people, and after the visits and the tours, I wish I had had the opportunity to meet them in person.

Yes, they grew up very privileged, and yes, they owned a lot of beautiful things, however, it didn’t make up for the trials and tribulations they experienced growing up, having a family, and running a country after the stock market crash and depression of 1929.

I was very humbled by the type of person Eleanor was, and I just loved the above quote. How do we know we can’t do something if we’ve never tried? I thought about how this affects my life as much as it affects my clients. I hear over and over again that they cannot organize on their own and that they don’t have the organizing gene.

It’s OK not to be able to organize on your own, as much as it was OK for me asking for help when I started my business and even after I established myself. We do have people in our lives that can help us with those things we cannot do on our own.

Achieving a goal by no means has to be done alone. That’s why we all do different things in life in which we can help each other. If you feel that you cannot organize on your own and need professional assistance, ask for it.

Here’s what will happen when we work together.

You’ll have an expert by your side to keep you motivated, inspired, and on track.

You’ll be amazed at how much you’ll get accomplished.

You will see an immediate increase in productivity and efficiency.

It’s an investment in yourself that will give you the greatest return in more areas than one – physical space and peace of mind.
